What is it?
OneNote is Microsoft’s digital note-taking application that works across platforms and devices, including on the web. Users can jot down ideas, to-dos, lecture and meeting notes, vacation plans, and/or snap a picture and other forms of information and OneNote saves it and syncs your notes across your devices so you can access them wherever you go.
It is designed for collaborating in such a manner that users can share it with their family, classmates and teachers, colleagues and employees, and other people where they can see as well as edit notes accordingly. It is an organizational tool with add-ons and features, and is even integrated with other applications.
OneNote is an immensely flexible tool with more additional features and add-ons providing its users the best way to keep their day-to-day operations planned and organized, as well as share them with their colleagues, friends, family, co-workers and other.

Users can type text, create handwritten notes, design tables, and take photos, insert digital images into pages on this tabbed electronic version of a notebook. In OneNote, users are even allowed to move pages within the notebook, add annotations with word processing or drawing tools. They can insert audio, video, and audio-visual recordings. Instant search allows users to find anything they have entered or saved.

With this, it also enables its users to edit notes offline with a separate offline copy, further synchronizing and merging the edited data once online connection is available and established. OneNote also allows the users to share the notebook so that it is available on other computers or on the web, only if they want to do so.

Course Testimonials
David Thomas
Good course instruction. Covered all of the basics and instruction is very thorough and well organized. Instructor was clear and very knowledgeable. Learned new things about OneNote 2013 that will make me use it more often. I liked how the instructor explained how users can enter typed text via keyboard, create tables, and insert pictures, and multi-media. Before this lesson, I didn’t know you could share your notebooks with others for viewing or editing.
Kate Guard
Lecture moved along nicely. It provides a good in-depth course on OneNote. I would have preferred a little more time spent on the math functions, but otherwise, glad I took the course.

“I enjoyed the course. Thanks to the website for providing so user-friendly, knowledgeable and helpful course structure. Hope to be here again! It was an excellent experience. The trainers are very friendly which makes the whole experience much more enjoyable. In addition, they were very knowledgeable about OneNote and I learned a lot which I can take back to the office with me. I particularly appreciated the time they took relating back to our own organization using real life examples. They took the time to get to know us as individuals, our job roles and about the company overall, which I thought was an excellent touch.”
